I check in every now and then to the Noteliner website to see if there has been any development (last was spring of 2013, I believe). Sadly, when I recently checked in I found that the domain (noteliner.org) is no longer active. I sent an e-mail to the developer, Sam Hawksworth, and have not received a reply. So I have to conclude that Noteliner is now unavailable and defunct.

That is a shame, since Noteliner was one of the better outlining apps for Windows. Here's a link to a review of an earlier version of Noteliner:

If anyone knows anything more about the status of Noteliner, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks!

BTW, I also wrote an article about Noteliner (which I'd almost forgotten about):

Ouch! This is the easiest basic outliner of them all - its my go-to for notetaking. I hope Sam is OK - he's been very responsive in the past.

Interestingly www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com says the site is up, but I am getting a connection re-set error when I try to access it.

When I try to access the Noteliner.org site, I got a re-route to Go Daddy trying to sell me the domain name, but with a notice that it expired in December.

I hope that Noteliner continues, and its developer is ok. It's a good outliner with a neat feature set.

Noteliner was imho the best outliner available on PC. (And Sam was always incredibly responsive and helpful.) Now it's gone, along with Circus Ponies Notebook, which was my choice on Mac. Not a good period for outliners.

Most outliner users I know of use the software in conjunction with their writing. I'm not a writer--I use outlines to "run my life". Even though they handled it differently, both Noteliner and Notebook allowed me to maintain a library of day-to-day, informational/technical, and project notes--along with an integrated "to do" capability that didn't require time wasted on a separate "to do" list. With the demise of Notebook, I've reverted to using OmniOutliner, which at least provides competent outlining. I tried using OmniFocus for the "to do" piece, but it was way too much work to maintain vs the functionality it provided.

that doesn't happen to me but maybe it's because I have uBlock Origin (ad blocker) enabled.

Let's hope he just forgot go renew the domain name subscription.

The noteliner.org domain is still good until 20 Dec 2016. It looks like the web hosting account has been closed and the domain is parked back at GoDaddy until it expires.

I'm quite late to the game as I only discovered Noteliner recently, but I share the view that is is a great piece of software. I understand it is no longer developed but to me that doesn't necessarily mean it is of no use anymore. For years the most important application on my PC has been Ecco Pro,which has been abandonware for quite some time and yet it has a very active community and even some third party extensions. The point is it was so good and stable at the moment it got abandoned that it can still be safely used and all its benefits are available to those who are willing to deal with its steep learning curve. My question here is whether something like that can be said about Noteliner: Does anybody out there still use it? What is the experience as to stability?
